The Las Vegas Raiders had been considered among the team that were most likely to draft a quarterback in the first round of the April 24-26 draft.
Then, though, Geno Smith happened.
The Raiders, of course, went the veteran route and traded for Smith from the Seattle Seahawks. Smith, who turns 35 during the season, is expected to be Las Vegas’ starting quarterback for the next few years.
So, that takes away the urgent need of finding a young quarterback.
Yet, there have been reports that Las Vegas could still consider taking a quarterback in the first round.
